Prescription Drug Price controls would include opening up importing from Canada and Europe. 

Nobody forced to join a union under that law, if 10% of the company want to join a Union, they should be able to.  But they can't because 50%+1 need to support a union.

Taxation with out representation in DC is a big deal.  Republicans block it because they don't want all those black people to have a voice in congress.

Renegotiating Mortgage contracts: yeah! those banks should just be given blank check bail out, and all those people should get kicked out of their homes. /sarcasm

Eliminating the statute of limitations would mean people would be better to protect their rights.  Sexual harassment is a myth.  Retaliation is a myth.  Injuries in the work place are a myth.  Boo! Boo! /sarcasm

Bar funding for war in Iraq... no I'm just saying.  Bar funding for the war in Iraq.  Get a treaty signed, and GTFO. Bar funding until Bush admits he is a war criminal, and gives himself up for prosecution.

Windfall Profits Tax.  Some times taxes need to go down, sometimes they need to go up.  The windfall profits tax would still be lower than the pre-Bush 43 federal tax rates on oil companies.  Right now, the governmment is spending a crap load of money of these bail outs, taxes need to go up for major US based corporations, people who have over a net-worth of over 2 billion dollars, and companies that assosiate with the federal government ie oil companies.

 

added the bolded part for you.

 

It doesn't matter who or what you tax, it all ends up pretty much the same in the end.  I disagree.  Taxes need to go up.

Too much talk of spreading the wealth with out talk of spreading the burden.

Tax U.S. based corps, they move.  Jobs are lost.

Income taxes need to go up.  Sucks, but that's life.

Subsidize food, health care, housing, education.  That way the poorest pay about the same (which is nothing) and have better healthcare, while everyone else is now getting a living credit, instead of a standard deduction.

Meanwhile, eliminate payroll taxes on the first 10k and raise minimum wage, so people are spending instead of the government in the longterm.

Eliminate interest free student loans. Increase student grants.

Raise taxes on savings over a certain amount.

 

You can only tax the rich so much, before they just take their money elsewhere.

You guys expect to be given everything by the govt?  If so, Europe has nice real estate that you might like.  Also, if you tax a corp. they will increase the price for their goods and services to recoup losses.  You think their will be no repercussions from an Obama tax? Food prices today will be dirt cheap compared to the results of increases corporation windfall taxes and gasoline will increase as OPEC will maintain a policy to make up for lost funds. 

It is a no win situation.
